Daily Hope and Inspiration from Pastor Mark

Where does your mind wander? ... We are exposed daily to a multitude of sights, sounds, and even smells that are designed to grab our attention. It's ok and even healthy in most cases to have our minds momentarily stimulated by different sights and sounds but.... if we linger on that image or sound too long it can become a distraction. Repetitive distractions lead to changes in our behaviors, habits, and attitudes. Overtime if this continues our spiritual life can become challenged and even halted. Then the distraction becomes our addiction. .... Remember folks where your mind wanders your heart follows. ... Check your experience. ... “In the realm of the material, men's minds were fettered by superstition, tradition, and all sorts of fixed ideas.” Big Book pg 51 Lord help us through the power of Your Holy Spirit inside each of us to keep our hearts immune to permanent earthly distractions, AMEN. "Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious - the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse." Philippians 4:8 Have a blessed day y’all!
